Artificial coral can save the Great barrier reef

Great barrier reef
A Recent study, which was conducted by a team of Australian scientists has revealed the discoloration of the world's largest coral reef. According to researchers, corals lose their color because of the death of the symbiotic algae zooxanthellae, which belong to the genus Symbiodinium. The reason for this was a sharp change in water temperature and change in salinity levels and appearance . In connection with the Great Barrier reef, scientists seriously puzzled over the invention of new ways that will restore the damage to the world's largest living structure.
is it Possible to restore the Great barrier Reef?
As the portal , mass coral reef bleaching was observed in 2016 and 2017, when the temperature of the water in the Northern part of the reef reached 32 degrees Celsius. If the stress was brief in nature, that mortality events could have been avoided, but because of the annual increase in temperatures, certain injuries received about 60-70% of shallow and about 40% of deep-sea corals even despite the fact that they were protected from thermal shock by the cold waters of the Pacific ocean at a depth of 40 meters.
Great barrier reef has experienced four periods of mass bleaching in 1998, 2002, 2016 and 2017. According to the analysis of climate model revealed that if human pressure on the Earth's climate will not drop, the disastrous events on the Great Barrier reef will occur every year beginning in 2044.
A Team of scientists from Australia are seriously concerned about the state of the world's largest living reef, decided to start the development of new methods . So, they have created a special protective film that soften harsh sunlight, develop a program of recycling the dead coral structures that contribute to the growth of living coral, and even introduce underwater robots during mass spawning. Such mass spawning event was discovered 38 years ago, when their periodic regularity allowed the scientists again and again to study the effect of experimental methods to restart the natural process.
LarvalBot — the device through which scientists hope to restore the Great barrier Reef
In order to recover the largest coral reef in the world, scientists are preparing to field test a new device that will help you restore the former beauty of the Great Barrier Reef. To perform such a challenging mission they can help coral ECO.
When, during the previous mass spawning, a team of researchers has collected millions of coral sperm and eggs, scientists then produced the joint cultivation of larvae with a type of algae called zooxanthellae. Grown in the laboratory, algae have higher thermostability and introducing them into the natural environment, they have a great chance of successful survival on the coral reef. At the moment, upgraded corals live in a special reservoir in which a scientist every day is possible to grow new colonies.
Australia's Great barrier reef has experienced the most serious event on coral bleaching.
In the case of a successful test of the latest technology coral ECO, scientists will be able to restore reefs in the world, as global warming and rising sea temperatures pose a growing threat to all . Despite the fact that a full-scale application of new technologies requires serious effort, scientists are ready to design the process so to be able to successfully develop new approaches for the recovery of the animal world of today.
